Hi,

I am working on IT Asset Management System, I have two sharePoint lists, one for IT asset to assign materials, and the other one for materials categories and the quantity of each.

my issue here when I create a new item in IT asset list in PowerApps, I need to update materials quantity as well.

lets say I have 30 Laptops in materials list, So when I assign a new laptop in IT asset list, in Materials list I want to update the quantity value of the laptops from 30 to 29.

What is the best approach to do so.

Thanks

Hi @YAYA ,

You did not provide any code, so I assume you have not attempted any yet and will give a syntax guidance answer.

You would have a "linking" common field between the lists, so I will call that Category for the moment. You would also have a Quantity field in Materials.

So if you assigned a Category item in Assets, you would do something like this

Patch( Materials, {Category:AssetCategoryField}, {Quantity:Quantity-1} )

All the values above naturally will depend on your lists and where you are running it from.
